- Digital Backpack Of Essentials For The Teacher
While my students do not start school until September, I know that many of you have more reasonable start times. With that in mind I am starting a series on "backpack essentials" for teachers. These are several items that I hope will be essential...
- Page Snooze On Chrome
One of the great reasons for using Chrome or Google Docs/Apps is that you do not have to wait around until a new version comes out in a six months to a year. For example, Google announced that their dictionary will be continually expanding as languages...
- Smartphone As Your Computer
Sorry to be on such a smartphone kick, but I am trying to get used to my new phone quickly. As most of you know you can edit your Google Docs items from any mobile device. My students who have tried it get a kick out of working on their phone...

Chrome on the Cloud
This weekend when I took my daughter to her gymnastic meet (where she qualified for the state meet!) I used a Google Map direction and then pushed "Chrome to Phone" on my browser which I then opened on my phone and it directed me (with a voice) successfully to the meet. Well if you watch the short video above you can see how Google Chrome (and even more so with Chrome Beta) can be synched between smartphone, tablet and computer. This means all of the apps you have added to the webpage will come up as well. It also means if you leave your browser open on your laptop, you can open it on another device (and close it remotely if you choose). In other words cloud computing is letting you be anywhere and everywhere and not miss a beat.
